miracle in the morning

Our Tony is coming back! Though we tried to sleep through the night, Tony kept us up and entertained, a lucid side that we have missed. In the middle of the night, Tony yelled for Patrice to assist with his fan. After Patrice failed to understand his mumbled request, Tony sputtered in his sarcastic manner "Patice, you're useless!!" A response that left the room in laughter and tears of joy knowing that this solicited a hope for further cognition. Moments later Tony looked to Patrice and very clearly uttered the words "I love you honey." Early this morning, the nurses took Tony off of his oxygen and plan to soon remove his catheter. In a matter of hours, Tony will be moved to a chair in order to start regaining strength. All signs that our Tony is comin g back!!
We continue to wait and pray for the biopsy results. Praise the Lord for even the smallest of miracles that we continually witness in this cramped hospital room.
Even just watching Tony spread a slow smile across his face brings us all to tears of joy.
